Why can’t he simply put his properties in a “family trust,” like Bill and Hillary did?

Or, better yet, a tax-exempt Foundation?

Because they will just move on to the next outrageous thing he has supposedly done. That’s what they do, it would be funny if it wasn’t bought hook-line-and-sinker by 40% or so of the population. Same shit the did to Bush 2 and Reagan. You must be youngster if you don’t remember? It’s the SOS just a different president.

Didnt he tweet a few weeks ago that this was already done.

Is this the news? That the dems are writing bills to head off things about Trump that he squared away yesterday? I know I am 3-5 days ahead of “normal”, as are most who are addicted here, but is that the speed that the legislature works at? “In hopes that our bill may become law we throw this useless work at the wall in hopes it will stick.”

Is this what it feels like to lap the field for the first time in 8 years?

Is this what it feels like to be........WINNING?

Bill Clinton used blind trusts while he was in office, as did George W. Bush. When Hillary Clinton launched her first presidential run in 2007, she went so far as to liquidating her blind trust to eliminate any investments that might create a problem down the road. Since then, she has kept the proceeds in bank accounts, treasury notes and mutual funds.

Outside of the blind trusts that held their investments, the Bushes and Clintons kept personal real estate, cash accounts, life insurance, bonds and mutual funds. The Obamas bucked the trend when they decided against using blind trusts, but their mix of bank accounts, treasury notes, index funds and college savings was unlikely to pose a direct conflict of interest.
